I’m wondering whether anything could be done in terms of name/“tagline” to clarify this? (Or maybe this is just a peculiar niche?)

I’m still using [x]it! every day for tracking daily todos or various check lists (e.g. tracking payments or packing lists) – same for klog, by the way, which I use for time tracking. I consider the [x]it! file format mostly complete, so in

I think there is a difference between “nitpicking” and “discussing” details. I personally do not see any nitpicking in OP’s comment, I rather see it as valuable and well-presented contribution to the general (wholistic) discussion. To me, y

Not a VSCode user, so a genuine question: what are practical use-cases in which you want VSCode to automatically execute a task only by opening a folder? Is it only for convenience so it already `npm i` or `npm start` without you having to

I find the “no light” bit in the subtitle confusing, as the article says he had “a torch as his only light source”. I get that a torch is not much light, but it’s still significantly different from “no light”. Or maybe they meant “no daylig

This limitation comes with more interesting implications: e.g., I noticed that some bike trips are noticeably slower than average. For those I’d assume that the rider either took a detour or made a stop in between. The animation, however, m

Not sure what you are insinuating, but 30–45 minutes per month to stay on top on your finances doesn’t sound particularly crazy to me.

On macOS, I find “3 finger drag” very convenient to use, and for me it works a lot better than “press and hold”. ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/102341 ) It even allows you to briefly lift your fingers to reposition th

I think you should better post this separately, e.g. as “Show HN”. It’s off-topic for this thread (hence, I assume, the downvotes).

Not OP, but it looks like the wording of their downloads page ( https://videohubapp.com/en/download/ ) is slightly confusing: - Clicking “Demo” (for macOS) points to the 3.2.0 ARM version - Clicking “Intel Mac” poin

It seems OP bought the gift card themselves as a means to top up their account balance ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46252989 ). They basically used the gift card as an alternative payment option.

To me, “imagine” would have been a more fitting term here. (“Generate”, while correct, sounds too technical, and “confabulate” reads a bit obscure.)
